Police in Pennsylvania are asking for the community's help as their search for a missing woman enters its second week. Jennifer Brown, 43, disappeared six days ago, after failing to pick up her young son from his bus stop the following afternoon, according to local authorities.
A "friend and business associate" of Brown was the last person to see her on Jan. 3, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office said in a news release shared to Facebook on Friday. When Brown failed to retrieve her son, Noah, from the bus the next afternoon, investigators say Brown's car was found parked outside of her home in Limerick Township with her car keys, wallet, purse and work cellphone left inside.
Brown's personal cellphone has not yet been located by police, according to the district attorney's office, which noted that she has not used the device to communicate since the morning of Jan. 4.

Emergency crews were forced to suspend search operations in Kerr County, Texas, on Sunday, as the area hit hardest by catastrophic flash flooding earlier this month faced a renewed flood threat. Officials in Texas' rural and flood-prone Hill Country have said at least 161 people from the area remain missing in the aftermath of destructive July 4 storms that caused the Guadalupe River to overflow, and efforts to find them are ongoing.

It didn't quite work out that way. For Rae-Venter, something she started as a hobby led to capturing one of the most notorious criminals in California.
